Lake O’Hara is one of the most breathtaking and exclusive locations in the Canadian Rockies—a truly magical setting for an intimate elopement. However, due to Parks Canada regulations, we are unable to offer packaged elopements that include reserved camping spots or accommodations within the park.


Access to Lake O’Hara is strictly limited, and reservations are managed through a lottery system run by Parks Canada. Here’s how it works:

Each year, Parks Canada opens a lottery for bus access and backcountry camping permits at Lake O’Hara. If you secure a spot through the lottery, you’ll be able to book your transportation or camping and start planning your adventure.

While we can’t book access on your behalf, we’re happy to guide you through the process! If you’re interested in eloping at Lake O’Hara, reach out to us and we can:

• Explain how the lottery system works and when to apply.
• Provide tips on increasing your chances of securing a spot.
• Help plan your elopement timeline once you’ve secured access.
• Capture your adventure with stunning photography in this incredible location

If you don’t secure a spot through the lottery or prefer a guaranteed location, we also offer backcountry elopement experiences in other stunning alpine settings that don’t require a lottery. Let’s find the perfect adventure for you!
